I heard a rumour last year...

[banknote]

That if you kept your wristband until the year later you could exchange it next time you're at V for a keg of beer.

Is this true?

[precious_lillywhite]

I've never heard that before, I don't think it's true

[RhysW]

No. Where the hell did you hear this ridiculous story?

[godmutha]

This rumour seems to float around all the festivals...lol

[banknote]

...A few mates.

A few people at last year's festival.

[Phil-itfc]

yes, and apparently if you wear the same wellies as last year they'll give you a magic bean,

[banknote]

It all came from Leeds & Reading Festival a few years back. Carling were sponsoring, and said if you came back with last years they'd give you a free crate. When a few thousand did it, they shat bricks and shut up shop.

So no freebies!

That's a good question. It's a pet hate of mine.

It's just dirty. But the people that do it say it gets cleaned in the shower. Bollocks if you ask me!

It's like the one about Kele from Bloc Party (or Prince, or the lad sing from OCS, or Marc Almond etc etc) collapsing on stage only to have his stomach pumped and it turns out he's drank a pint of horse semen.

The story has been going round for about a hundred years and it wasn't even true when it first started circulating but that doesn't stop people believing it...

Maybe we should start a new rumour about parasites that live inside festival wristbands, and after 5 days they burrow under your skin only to grow inside you until a massive cockraoch bursts out of your eyes a week later... that would get all the sweaty grebbs cutting em off as soon as they got home haha
